Step 1: Placing the speakers
The Philips Home Theatre System is
simple to install. However, proper system
placement is critical to ensure an
optimum sound experience.
A
Place the front left and right speakers at
equal distances from the TV and at an
angle of approximately 45 degrees from
the listening position.
B
Place the centre speaker above the TV or
the main unit such that the centre
channel’s sound is localised.
C
Place the rear speakers at normal
listening ear level facing each other.
D
Place the subwoofer at the corner of the
room. Otherwise, keep it at least one
metre away from the TV.
E
Place the wireless receiver in between
the rear speakers at the back of the
room. Face it (with Philips logo) towards
the direction of the wireless transmitter
which connected to the main unit.
Helpful Hints:
– The placement diagram shown here is only
a guideline that provides great system
performance. You may fi nd other placement
choices that are more suitable for your room
layout that provide the sound experience you
enjoy.
– To avoid magnetic interference, never
position the front speakers too close to your
TV.
– The rear speakers are labelled as REAR
LEFT or REAR RIGHT.
– The front speakers are labelled as
FRONT LEFT or FRONT RIGHT.
– For speaker setting, see ‘Getting Started -
Setting the speakers’ channel’.
